I hope you have all had a good week? I can't believe that it is the end of July already!!! How quickly has the year gone by?

It's my turn again on the 13 Arts blog, and I'm just stopping by today to share with you another card and step-by-step tutorial.

'For Someone Special'

Some close-ups:

Lot's of dimension!!

And here is the tutorial:

Step
1 and 2: Cut a piece of paper from the mental vacation Collection to
fit the front of your card. Distress the edges and attach with
double-sided tape, then use a palette knife to spread gesso over the
front of your card.

Steps 3 and 4:
Mix some Modelling Paste with Magic! Powder to create a nice thick paste
that will crack when applied, then use your palette knife to spread the
paste through your stencil/stencils. When the paste is dry add some
random stamping with archival ink.

Steps 4 and 5: Now it is time to add color. I have mixed Pearl Turquoise light with a tiny bit of Vivid Violet paint to get
this gorgeous Deep Blue. I have painted it onto my background in a
roucgh diamond shape adding some of the Pearl Turquoise light on its own
as well. Give everything a few sprays of water and let the colors run.

Steps 6 and 7: Add some Washi Tape and Cut your papers. Distress the edges and attach with foam tape and glue for added strength.

Steps
8 and 9: Tear a piece of Calico and add it to your layers then glue
some Hemp Twine in a circle on top. Next I have covered a chipboard
frame with Washi Tape and placed it on top before adding a flower and
another circle of Jute Twine in Apricot. I have then added a few
splashes of Pastel Salmon Mist to the background.

Steps 10 and 11: Add some more flowers brushed with Gesso, a resin clock, and metal leaf painted White. I have also decided to lighten up the edges of the card a little by rubbing some Gesso into it with my finger. I
added some more paint flicks of the deep blue I mixed up for my
background. Add some Light Grey Grit randomly to your card using Gel
medium to hold it in place.

Step 12: Finish off by writing your sentiment on white card with a black pen, cutting it out and attaching firmly to your card. Then use your black pen to draw an outline on the Washi Tape chipboard frame and to draw a zigzag stitch around the edge of the card.

Hello!!!Natalya Loi is here. Today, I'd like to show you my new mixed media notebook with wooden cover. For creating it I used my favorite 13arts' materials - modeling paste, masks, sprays and stunning ayeeda metallic paints!

Hello scrapping friends. I am here to
share with you my next creation as a Guest Designer for 13@rts for
the month of July. I was keen create using one of my favourite
collections the “Timeless” collection.

I wanted to achieve a very pretty girly
theme for this layout so I choose two coordinating colours from the
Aydeea Mist Chalk Sprays, Turquoise and Fuchsia spraying them mon the
background and allowing them to drip down the page. I then added some
cute little stars through the “little Stars” stencil using some
of the Ayeeda Medium Modeling Paste.

I added some Gardenia flowers that I
also coloured using the chalk sprays and some little white rose buds
as well as some medium white roses. The chalk sprays are very good at
covering anything. I even coloured some cheese cloth material to add
under the flowers. I also added the Light Turquoise to the frame and
toned down the Fuchsia with the Ayeeda Medium White Gesso to make a
beautiful soft pink colour.

I used lots of flicks of Turquoise and
Fuchsia to fill in the background with colour as well as spraying the
chalks and allowing them to drip.

You can see this project coming
together in the process video I have made.

I absolutely love this colour
combination. I’ll have to try it again on another project. I hope
you have enjoyed my project. Thank you for popping in. See you again
next month.
